HOLLAND, Michigan — A man armed with two knives who barricaded himself inside a Holland business after threatening employees inside the building is now in police custody.
The incident began around 11 a.m. Monday morning, the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office says.
The sheriff's department said the 82-year-old man walked into the Property Law Services office in the 40 block of East Lakewood Boulevard and threatened employees with a knife.
Two employees, a 50-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman, were inside at the time. The woman made it outside, but the suspect held the man at knifepoint until deputies arrived.
When Sheriff's Deputies arrived on the scene, they were able to remove the employees from the business and evacuate a nearby business as well. Police say no one has been injured in the incident.
The Sheriff's Office Tactical Units and Crisis Negotiators attempted to speak with the suspect.
Around 3:45 p.m., the sheriff's office said the 82-year-old suspect was out of the building and in custody. Authorities used "nonlethal munitions" to get him into custody.
His name will be released after he faces arraignment.
